by that i mean, if you had the holes parallel to each other and perpendicular to the laser beam, but moving toward or away from the laser source at sufficient speed.
how do they really know the 100% part of the equation though? if you don't know the total number of species there was to start with, you cant estimate the remaining portions after the extinction event.

and scientist don't even know for sure the total number of different species we have right now... it's all estimates, as new species are discovered every day.
There are legal methods which will fail because there is already precedence with SPAM grocery mailers, etc
There are also legal methods to stop grocery mailers from being put in your mailbox. It's a white sticker with a red circle and an oblique bar on top of an illustration of a black folded flyer that means, quite explicitely, NO FLYERS.
You can also get a text version of NO FLYERS stickers as well.
If you still receive flyers in spite of having stuck a NO FLYERS sticker on your mailbox, I believe you have legal recourses against those businesses who still deliver flyers to your mailbox.

The Cuban Government is tightening its control over internet access. A new law coming into force on Saturday makes it impossible for many Cubans to dial up the internet from their home telephone lines.
The move has been criticised by the human rights group Amnesty International.
Cuba says that, given its limited resources, it needs to ensure that the internet is primarily used for the social good.
Dollar access
The move clamps down on the thousands of Cubans who illegally access the internet from their homes.
From now on, it will not be possible to dial up the main government server from most domestic phone lines.
Only lines which are paid for in dollars will have direct access. These are usually restricted to foreigners.
Amnesty International says this is an attempt to shield Cubans from alternative views.
All news media in Cuba is rigorously state-controlled and supportive of Fidel Castro's government.
'For the common good'
But the Cuban government has reacted angrily to suggestions that the change amounts to censorship.
It says it is doing nothing more than preventing overused internet connections being clogged up by people borrowing, or selling each other passwords.
The internet should be for the common good, it says, pointing out that it will still be available in schools and workplaces.
Dissident groups have expressed doubt that the authorities here can control the internet as much as they might wish.
It is true that whenever a new law comes into effect here, Cubans - who are famed for their inventiveness - tend to find a way around it.

lots of Canadians go to Cuba each year, and last I heard, a lot of Americans go too, but they have to pretend they're going to Mexico instead. Alternatively, if said Americans are from States that border Canada, they can come here to catch a flight to Cuba.
Cuban customs officer routinely avoid stamping US passports so Americans wont get in trouble with their own government for visiting Cuba and bringing in much needed US currency there.
And if you bring software CDs there, make sure you "forget" them in a place they're likely to be found by people who will appreciate them.

would that change anything?
But I am no crackpot. I don't believe in UFOs and stuff
I've seen many flying things which I couldnt identify, due to lack of good optics, mainly.
I believe in stuff. It's what makes me go to work every day. To get more money, in order to buy more stuff.
how do they really know the 100% part of the equation though? if you don't know the total number of species there was to start with, you cant estimate the remaining portions after the extinction event.

more than 80% of terrestrial life?
more than 95% of marine life?
that would mean that whatever we have today, evolved from >20% / >5% of those species that survived?
that's a whole lotta evolution if you ask me.
heh

that's such a bad analogy to use with geeks who also happen to be Babylon 5 fans...

at least a couple of hours at optimal connection speeds on excellent high-bandwidth servers.
now add to the fact that a lot of gamers dislike even the loading times of games that are already installed on their machines...

well, given that illegal movie downloads have tripled over the past year according to this BBC article9 .stm

i wouldnt be surprised if some people start broadcasting pirated movies any time soon...
just imagine the backlash that this would cause!
I was talking about Linux distros and internet access here... not lack of doctors and medicine.

I would rather stay poor, unknown, and healthy than become the first man on Mars, rich, famous and permanently crippled.
they were used to make the movies Leonard Part 1 through 5, and since those movies were classified...
all we get to see is Leonard Part 6 and Ignalum Linux 9.
